Skyscouter and DARIT Technologies Collaborate on a Stronger Counter-UAS Product
On this page
Skyscouter is collaborating with DARIT Technologies on a stronger Counter-UAS (counter-drone) product, and the first integration between our systems is already running end-to-end.
DARIT brings the detection stack and the command and control (C2) system that ties it together. Skyscouter brings AI-Scout, the autonomous interceptor that pursues and physically captures the threat. Together, that covers the path from detection to defeat.
What does each company bring?
- DARIT Technologies: the detection stack, and the C2 that ties it together.
- Skyscouter: AI-Scout, the autonomous interceptor that pursues and physically captures the threat.
What does detect-to-defeat mean?
A counter-drone system has to find a hostile drone and then stop it. Detect-to-defeat means covering that whole path, rather than only one part of it. In this collaboration, detection and C2 come from DARIT, and the physical capture comes from AI-Scout.
How does AI-Scout stop a drone?
AI-Scout is built to work with detection systems: a radar or other sensor spots the drone and passes its position to AI-Scout, then onboard cameras and AI find and track the target. An operator approves every capture. The captured drone comes down under a parachute and is recovered intact.
AI-Scout captured a target drone in flight for the first time in August 2026. You can read more about how AI-Scout works.
What comes next?
We will have more to share soon. To talk to us about this work in the meantime, request a technical briefing.
